How aging drives neurodegenerative diseases

A University of Cologne research team has identified a direct molecular link between aging and neurodegeneration by investigating how age-related changes in cell signaling contribute to toxic protein aggregation.

Making neurons young again may stop ALS

In the beginning, not even Hynek Wichterle's postdoc thought his idea to slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) had a chance.

A mutation linked to ALS and dementia miswires gene expression

It may be time to rethink certain genetic mutations associated with two devastating neurodegenerative disorders—amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)—according to a new Nature Neuroscience ...
